Federal Regulations; OMB Circulars, OFPP Policy Letters, and CASB Cost 
Accounting Standards Included in the Semiannual Agenda of Federal 
Activities

AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget.

ACTION: Publication of semiannual agenda.

______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is publishing its 
semiannual agenda of upcoming activities for OMB Circulars, Office of 
Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) Policy Letters, and Cost Accounting 
Standards Board (CASB) Cost Accounting Standards.

    OMB Circulars and OFPP Policy Letters are published in 
accordance with OMB's internal procedures for implementing 
Executive Order No. 12866 (October 4, 1993; 58 FR 51735). OMB 
policy guidelines are issued under authority derived from several 
sources including: Subtitles I, II, and V of title 31, United 
States Code; Executive Order No. 11541; and other specific 
authority as cited. OMB Circulars and OFPP Policy Letters 
communicate guidance, instructions, and information of a continuing 
nature to executive branch agencies. As such, most OMB Circulars 
and OFPP Policy Letters are not regulations. Nonetheless, because 
these issuances are typically of public interest, they are 
generally published in the Federal Register in both proposed (for 
public comment) and final stages. For this reason, they are 
presented below in the standard format of ``prerule,'' ``proposed 
rule,'' and ``final rule'' stages.

    CASB Cost Accounting Standards are issued under authority 
derived from 41 U.S.C. 422. Cost Accounting Standards are rules 
governing the measurement, assignment, and allocation of costs to 
contracts with the United States Government.

    For purposes of this agenda, we have excluded directives that 
outline procedures to be followed in connection with the 
President's budget and legislative programs and directives that 
affect only the internal functions, management, or personnel of 
Federal agencies.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: See agency person listed for each 
entry in the agenda, c/o Office of Management and Budget, Washington, 
DC 20503. On the overall agenda, contact John B. Arthur, (202) 395-
3060, at the above address.

Dated: March 31, 1995.

Office of Management and Budget.

John B. Arthur,

Associate Director for Administration.
